Read guide →Why platform choice matters
Performance impacts revenue
A slow platform means a slow website. Every second of load time costs 10-15% of visitors. Platform architecture determines your speed ceiling.
Security and maintenance costs
Some platforms require constant updates and security monitoring. Others are architecturally secure. Choose wisely and save thousands in ongoing maintenance.
Vendor lock-in risks
Can you export your content and move platforms if needed? Some builders make it deliberately hard to leave. Understand ownership before committing.
Long-term costs
A $500 WordPress site with $50/month hosting costs $3,500 over 5 years. A $1,500 JAMstack site with $0-10/month hosting costs $2,100. Total cost of ownership matters.
